1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL STEWARDSHIP ASSOCIATION (the Corporation ) BY-LAW NO. 1 A by-law relating generally to the transaction of the business and affairs of the Corporation. 1.1 Interpretation In this by-law: Article 1 Interpretation (a) Act means the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (Canada), S.C. 2009, c. C-23, and the regulations made under it, each as amended or re-enacted from time to time; (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j) board means the board of directors of the Corporation; by-law means any by-law of the Corporation in effect from time to time; EPR regulation means the extended producer responsibility regulation of any province of Canada; meeting of members means an annual or special meeting of members of the Corporation; observer means a person who is deemed by the Corporation to be a valued contributor to its policy development activities, including without limitation a representative of the Retail Council of Canada, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, and the Canadian Housewares and Hardware Manufacturers Association, who may be admitted to a meeting of members, of directors, or of a committee, subject to any by-law, policy or any other terms of participation prescribed from time to time by the board; producer means the party who is or may be deemed to be subject to the EPR regulation of any province of Canada, as a producer, steward, or other obligated party under that regulation; unless otherwise specified, all words and expressions contained in this by-law and that are defined in the Act have the meanings given to them in the Act; any reference to gender includes all genders and words importing the singular number include the plural and vice versa; any reference to persons shall include firms and corporations; and

2 (k) the inclusion of headings and a table of contents are provided for convenience only and do not affect the construction or interpretation of this by-law. 1.2 Conflicts with the Act If any provision in this by-law (or any other by-law) contravenes any provision in the Act, the provision in the Act will govern. 1.3 Unanimous Member Agreement If any provision in this by-law (or any other by-law) conflicts with any provision in a unanimous member agreement validly made under the Act, the provision in the unanimous member agreement will govern to the extent permitted by the Act. 2.1 Head Office Article 2 Activities of the Corporation Until changed in accordance with the Act, the head office of the Corporation shall be in the Province of Ontario. 2.2 Financial Year Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors, the financial year-end of the Corporation shall be December 31st in each year. 2.3 Banking Arrangements Banking transactions will be made with the bank(s) or other financial institution(s) approved by the board from time to time, and banking transactions will be made on the Corporation s behalf by the director(s), officer(s) or other person(s) designated, directed or authorized by the board from time to time and to the extent so designated, directed or authorized. 2.4 Execution of Contracts, Documents and Instruments by the Corporation Contracts, documents or instruments in writing requiring the signature of the Corporation may be signed on behalf of the Corporation by any two officers, any two or directors, or any one officer and one director of the Corporation. In addition, the board may from time to time authorize any officer or officers of the Corporation, any director or directors of the Corporation, or any other person or persons, either to sign contracts, documents and instruments in writing generally or to sign specific contracts, documents or instruments in writing and the manner in which those contracts, documents or instruments in writing may or will be signed.

3 3.1 Membership Class and Conditions Article 3 Membership 3.1.1 Subject to the articles, there shall be one class of members in the Corporation, namely, Producer Members. The board of directors of the Corporation may, by resolution, approve the admission of the members of the Corporation. Members may also be admitted in such other manner as may be prescribed by the board by resolution. The following conditions of membership shall apply. 3.1.2 Membership in the Corporation shall be limited to persons who are interested in furthering the objects of the Corporation, who are companies incorporated in Canada, and who operate in a province where the Corporation operates a stewardship program. 3.1.3 Producer membership shall be limited to producers who are or may be deemed to be subject to the EPR regulation of any province of Canada in which the Corporation operates a stewardship program. 3.2 Membership Agreement 3.2.1 In addition to any other conditions of membership established by this by-law or any other by-law of the Corporation, or by the board of directors from time to time, each member shall, as a condition of membership, agree to be bound by and to abide by the terms and conditions of the Corporation s Membership Agreement from time to time in effect. 3.2.2 The board of directors may amend, change or modify the Membership Agreement from time to time in effect, although not more often than once in any twelve (12) month period, by approving such amendments, changes or modifications at a meeting of the directors held for that purpose, if such amendments, changes or modifications are approved by not less than sixty-six per cent (66%) of the directors in attendance at the meeting, in which event such amendments, changes and modifications, and the resulting revised Membership Agreement, shall be valid and effective and applicable to each member from and after a date specified by the board of directors which is at least ninety (90) days following notification to the members of such amendments, changes and modifications. 3.3 Dues There shall be no membership fees or dues unless otherwise determined by the board of directors. 3.4 Voting Rights of Members Each of the members of the Corporation is entitled to one vote at any meeting of members.

4 3.5 Termination of Membership and Member s Rights 3.5.1 Unless the articles otherwise provide, a membership is terminated automatically, when: (a) (c) three-quarters (3/4) of the members of the Corporation voting at an annual or special meeting vote to terminate the member s membership, provided that any such member shall be granted the opportunity to be heard at such meeting; the member s term of membership, if any, expires; or the Corporation is liquidated and dissolved under the Act. 3.5.2 Unless the articles otherwise provide, a membership is terminated voluntarily, when the member delivers not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice of resignation to the Corporation, with a copy to the Secretary of the Corporation. (a) the board designates the program manager to follow current protocols for all requests for member termination to ensure the termination is legitimate and/or the member is no longer obligated under the program. The board will be consulted before termination is approved in cases where special circumstances exist. 3.5.3 Unless the articles otherwise provide, the rights of a member, including any rights in the property of the Corporation, cease to exist on termination of the membership. 4.1 Number of Directors Article 4 Directors The property and business of the Corporation shall be managed by a board of not less than three (3) and not more than fifteen (15) directors. The members shall, from time to time by ordinary resolution, fix the number of directors of the Corporation and the number of directors to be elected at annual meetings of the members, but no decrease in the number of directors will shorten the term of an incumbent director. 4.2 Eligibility Directors must be members of the Corporation or employees or directors of a member of the Corporation. All directors shall be ordinarily resident in Canada under the Income Tax Act. 4.3 Election and Term 4.3.1 Subject to the Act, the members of the Corporation shall, by ordinary resolution at each annual meeting at which an election of directors is required, elect the number of directors required to satisfy section 4.1. 4.3.2 Directors shall be appointed for a term of one (1), two (2) or three (3) years, with the intention that, so far as possible:

5 (a) a similar number of directors will be appointed for a one (1) year term, a two (2) year term, and a three (3) year term; and one-third of the directors retire in each year. 4.3.3 The board has no power to appoint honorary or ex officio directors. 4.4 Ceasing to Hold Office A director ceases to hold office when the director (i) dies, (ii) is removed from office by the members of the Corporation in accordance with section 4.5 of this by-law, (iii) becomes disqualified for election as a director, or (iv) resigns, which resignation is effective when the director s written resignation is sent to the Corporation or, if a later time is specified in the resignation, at the later time. 4.5 Removal of Directors The members of the Corporation may by ordinary resolution at a special meeting of members remove any director or directors from office, but a director elected by a class or group of members that has an exclusive right to elect the director may only be removed by an ordinary resolution of those members. A vacancy created by the removal of a director may be filled at the meeting of the members at which the director is removed or, if not so filled, may be filled by the board in accordance with the Act. Subject to the Act, if all of the directors of the Corporation have resigned or have been removed without replacement, a person who manages or supervises the management of the activities or affairs of the Corporation is deemed to be a director for the purposes of the Act. 4.6 Vacancies Subject to the Act, a quorum of directors may fill a vacancy among the directors, except a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number or the minimum or maximum number of directors provided for in the articles or a failure to elect the number or minimum number of directors provided for in the articles. 4.7 Remuneration and Expenses of Directors Subject to the articles and any unanimous member agreement, a director shall serve as such without remuneration from the Corporation. A director may receive reasonable remuneration and expenses for any services to the Corporation that are performed in any other capacity. A director may receive indemnification for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Corporation as a director. 5.1 Powers and Duties of Directors Article 5 Meetings of Directors Subject to the Act, the articles, the by-laws and any unanimous member agreement, the directors shall manage or supervise the management of the activities and affairs of the Corporation. Every director of the Corporation in exercising their powers and discharging their duties shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Every director of the Corporation shall comply with the Act, the articles, the by-laws and any unanimous member agreement.

6 5.2 Transaction of Affairs The powers of the board may be exercised at a meeting at which a quorum is present or by a resolution in writing signed by all the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the board. 5.3 Quorum Subject to the articles, a majority of the number of directors determined in accordance with section 4.1 of this by-law constitutes a quorum for the transaction of affairs at any meeting of the board, and, despite any vacancies on the board, a quorum of directors may exercise all the powers of the board. 5.4 Calling of Meetings Meetings of the board may be called at any time by the Chair of the board, the President (if the President is a director), a Vice-President who is a director, or any two directors, and may be held at such time and place as the director or directors calling the meeting may determine. 5.5 Notice of Meetings Unless the articles otherwise provide, notice of the time and place of the meeting must be given to each director not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time when the meeting is to be held. A notice of a meeting of the board need not specify the purpose of or the business to be transacted at the meeting unless the Act requires that purpose or business to be specified. 5.6 Waiver of Notice A director may waive notice of a meeting of the board, and attendance of a director at a meeting of the board is a waiver of notice of the meeting, except if the director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called. 5.7 Persons Entitled to Attend The only persons entitled to attend a meeting of the board are the directors, and others who, although not entitled to vote, are entitled or required under the Act, the articles or the by-laws to be present at the meeting. Any other person, including observers at the meeting, may be admitted on the invitation of the chair of the meeting, subject to compliance with any policy or other terms of participation prescribed from time to time by the board. 5.8 Voting at Meetings 5.8.1 Only directors may vote at a meeting of the board. 5.8.2 Questions arising at any meeting of the board will be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the question. In case of an equality of votes the chair of the meeting will not be entitled to a second or casting vote. Unless a ballot is demanded, an entry in the minutes of a meeting to the effect that the chair of the meeting declared a resolution to be carried or defeated is, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, proof of the fact

7 without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution. 5.9 Written Resolution In Lieu of Meeting A resolution in writing, signed by all the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the board or a committee of the board, is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the board or a committee of the board. 6.1 Conflict of Interest 6.1.1 Any director of the Corporation who: Article 6 Interest of Directors in Contracts (a) is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with the Corporation, or is a director or officer of or has a material interest in anybody corporate or business firm who is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with the Corporation, shall disclose in writing at the directors meeting or have entered in the minutes, the nature and extent of such director's interest in such material contract or proposed material contract with the Corporation. 6.1.2 The disclosure required by 6.1.1 above, shall be made: (a) (c) at the directors meeting at which a proposed contract is first considered; if the director was not then interested in a proposed contract, at the first directors meeting after such director becomes so interested; or if the director becomes interested after a contract is made, at the first directors meeting held after the director becomes so interested. 6.1.3 If a contract or a proposed contract is one that, in the ordinary course of carrying on the Corporation's non-pecuniary purpose or purposes, would not require approval by the directors or members, a director shall disclose in writing the nature and extent of the director's interest at the first directors meeting held after the director becomes aware of the contract or proposed contract. 6.1.4 A director referred to in sub-section 6.1.1 above is liable to account for any profit made on the contract by the director or by a corporate entity or business firm in which the director has a material interest, unless

8 (a) (c) the director disclosed the director's interest in accordance with sub-sections 6.1.2 or 6.1.3 above or 6.1.7 below; after such disclosure the contract was approved by the directors or members; and the contract was reasonable and fair to the Corporation at the time it was approved. 6.1.5 Provided that a director who has made a declaration of the director's interest in a contract or a proposed contract and has not voted in respect of such contract contrary to the prohibition contained in sub-section 6.1.6 below, if such prohibition applies, is not accountable to the Corporation or any of its members or creditors by reason only of such director holding that office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established, for any profit realized by such contract. 6.1.6 A director referred to in sub-section 6.1.1 above shall not vote on any resolution to approve the contract, unless the contract is an arrangement by way of security for money lent to or obligations undertaken by the director for the benefit of the Corporation. 6.1.7 For the purposes of this section 6.1, a general written notice to the directors by a director declaring that the person is a director or officer of or has a material interest in a body corporate or business firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract made therewith, is a sufficient declaration of interest in relation to any contract so made. 6.1.8 A contract is not void by reason only of the failure of a director to comply with the provisions of this section 6.1, but the court may upon the application of the Corporation or a member, set aside a contract in respect of which a director has failed to comply with the provisions of this section 6.1, and the court may make any further order it thinks fit. 7.1 Committees of Directors Article 7 Committees of the Board 7.1.1 The board may appoint from their number a managing director or one or more committees of directors, however designated, and delegate to the managing director or those committees any powers of the board except those that pertain to matters which, under the Act, a managing director or committee of the board has no authority to exercise. Any member of a committee of the board may be removed by a majority vote of the board of directors. 7.1.2 The only persons entitled to attend a meeting of a committee of directors are the directors appointed to the committee under subsection 7.1.1, and others who, although not entitled to vote, are entitled or required under the Act, the articles or the by-laws to

9 be present at the meeting. Any other person, including observers at the meeting, may be admitted on the invitation of the chair of the meeting, subject to compliance with any policy or other terms of participation prescribed from time to time by the board. 7.2 Transaction of Business The powers of a committee of the board may be exercised at a meeting at which a quorum is present or by a resolution in writing signed by all the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the committee. 7.3 Procedures Unless otherwise determined by the board, each committee of the board has the power to fix its quorum at not less than a majority of its members, to elect its chair and to regulate its procedure. 7.4 Executive Committee There may be an executive committee composed of three (3) directors who shall be appointed by the board of directors. Meetings of the executive committee shall be held at any time and place to be determined by the members of the committee provided that notice of the time and place of the meeting is given to each member of the committee not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time when the meeting is to be held. 8.1 Designation and Appointment Article 8 Officers Subject to the articles and any unanimous member agreement, the board may designate the offices of the Corporation, appoint as officers persons of full capacity, specify their duties and, subject to the Act, delegate to them powers to manage the activities and affairs of the Corporation. Subject to the articles and any unanimous member agreement, a director may be appointed to any office of the Corporation and two or more offices of the Corporation may be held by the same person. 8.2 Powers and Duties 8.2.1 Every officer of the Corporation shall: (a) perform all powers and duties incident to their respective offices and such other powers and duties respectively as may from time to time be assigned to them by the board; in exercising their powers and discharging their duties, act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances; and

10 (c) comply with the Act and the regulations made under it, the articles, the by-laws and any unanimous member agreement. 8.2.2 Chair. The chair shall preside at all meetings of the members and of the board of directors and shall perform such other duties as shall from time to time be imposed upon the chair by the board of directors. 8.2.3 Vice-Chair.

The treasurer shall disburse the funds of the Corporation as may be directed by proper authority, taking proper vouchers for such disbursements, and shall render to the president and directors at the regular meeting of the board of directors, or whenever they may require it, an accounting of all the transactions and a statement of the financial position of the Corporation. The treasurer shall also perform such other duties as may from time to time be directed by the board of directors. 8.2.6 Secretary. The secretary may be empowered by the board of directors, upon resolution of the board of directors, to carry on the affairs of the Corporation generally under the supervision of the officers thereof and shall attend all meetings and act as clerk thereof and record all votes and minutes of all proceedings in the books to be kept for that purpose. The secretary shall give or cause to be given notice of all meetings of the members and of the board of directors and shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the board of directors or by the president. 8.2.7 Compliance Officer.

If none of these officers is present at a meeting, the persons present and entitled to vote at that meeting shall choose a director present at the meeting to be the chair, and if no director is present or if all the directors present decline to take the chair, then the persons present and entitled to vote shall choose one of their number to be the chair. 10.10.2 The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary at any meeting of members and, if the Secretary of the Corporation is not present at a meeting, the chair of the meeting shall appoint a person who need not be a member to act as secretary for that meeting. 10.11 Voting at Meetings 10.11.1 Only members may vote at a meeting of members. 10.11.2 Subject to section 10.12 of this by-law, voting at a meeting of members will be by show of hands, except if a ballot is demanded by a member or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

If at any meeting a ballot is demanded on any other question, including the election of directors, the vote will be taken by ballot in the manner and at the time (at once, later in the meeting or after adjournment) as the chair of the meeting directs. The result of a ballot on a question will be the decision of the members on that question. 10.11.6 Unless a ballot is demanded, an entry in the minutes of a meeting to the effect that the chair of the meeting declared a resolution to be carried or defeated is, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, proof of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution. 10.11.7 Subject to the Act, the articles or any unanimous member agreement, every question at any meeting of members will be determined by a majority of the votes cast on the question.
